About me

Elio

I am an acupuncturist trained in the tradition of the classical Chinese writings of the yellow emperor inner canon 黃帝內經 and a practitioner of Tai Chi 六合八法 which I started studying more than 25 years ago under the guide of Daoist Master J. W. Shadow.

I hold the position of Principal at the International College of Oriental Medicine. The College, founded by the scholar, healer and physician dr. van Buren is the oldest acupuncture academic institution in the United Kingdom and the only place where the five phases are studied in relation to the wuyunliuqi 五運六氣.

I strongly believe that acupuncture can be the answer to the crisis affecting all evolved health systems globally; a modern answer with old roots; a medicine that put patients again at the centre of the clinical-stage treating them as individuals and consequently guiding them towards taking responsibility for their health needs.

I have spent the last 18 years deepening my understanding of the classics and feel part of the variegated movement defined as Classical Chinese Medicine, led by scholars like Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée, Jeffrey Yuen and Dr. Liu Lihong. I was awarded a BSc degree with first-class honours in Oriental Medicine - Acupuncture by the University of Brighton, having completed a four-year full-time course at the International College of Oriental Medicine where I also gained my Therapeutic Massage diploma.

In 2010 I founded the Icommunity project a multibed clinical setting which tried to address the needs of my community in terms of frequency and affordability of treatments still maintaining the same accuracy, care and attention to detail, which are the trademark of ICOM.

Since 2012 I have been part of the Acupuncture team working at the Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Service at Queen Victoria Hospital.

In June 2013 having completed a master in higher education at the University of Greenwich, I became a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

In the last decade, I have contributed to the design and development of the academic and clinical curriculum of the ICOM Acupuncture programme, working together with the University of Greenwich and the British Acupuncture Accreditation Board.

In 2019 I was one of the international peer reviewers of the draft document produced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the Standardisation of the Terminology used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I am a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and my practice is covered by a full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
